Today I gave a comprehensive sheet of everything that we have done with multiplying fractions. I tried to get to each student to make sure that they are doing it correctly. I had them take them home if there were mistakes to make the corrections. I will be giving them a real test when I am sure that they have "gotten" it.
Friday February 19 I sent home all the homework sheets with students to make corrections and bring back. All students will receive full value for these if all corrections are made and returned to me by Monday.
We started Dividing fractions today.
